Ryan_Taylor Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I gave up hoping we'd win a cup many year ago There's truth in this. Quite sadly I find the thought of us actually winning something vaguely ridiculous. This, if we won the League Cup these days my room and me would look something like this I reckon... http://files.sharenator.com/RandyMarshJizz_New_Skyrim_Trailer-s635x477-140227.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Safety should be priority, but if a cup run happens bonus. Oh and just about people mentioning why Stoke can mount cup runs but we shouldn't be focusing on that, it's because their an established premier league team, at the moment we're a championship side fighting to stay up. Next season is all about maintaining that, before pushing on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 This year's league cup draws just showed that there may be something in the old wive's tales that we're cursed never to win another trophy. Drawn away to the league champions and upset the odds by winning a cup thriller 4-3. Our reward? Not a cushy tie at home to a flyweight, oh no. Home against another Champions League team and it just so happened that they'd decided to take it seriously this year. Absolute piss take. What were the odds of drawing two of the top four sides in the country in the first two rounds? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Shame the bet wouldn't have won, since we drew Accrington first Shit, I had completely forgotten about that game. This has been a very long season, despite the fact that we've had two fairly brief cup campaigns. You could write a book on what's gone on since we went to Old Trafford last August.

Yorkie Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 If we're fighting against survival again next season it'll have represented an astronomical failure on the club's part. It'll mean that: A. Sacking Hughton was a pointless decision B. Employing Pardew was a dreadful move C. The Carroll money has gone to nothing decent. A cup-run shouldn't be a priority as such. The main priority is bettering what we've done this year, considering the excellent foundations that are currently in place (good first team, money to spend). However, given that relegation should be a million miles away, it's about time we had a go at the cups. Especially considering that the last couple years have demonstrated that they're not a banker for the 'top four' teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 If a bunch of professional footballers can't be fit enough to play an extra 6-10 games per season then there's something wrong with them. We aren't in Europe so those extra games can't be another excuse to not "try" so to speak in the domestic cups, so just go all out and try to win something. I'd rather finish 14th-17th and go to Wembley than finish 9th-13th and go out in the earlier stages of a cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
